I think some sort of "multi-get" operation could make sense. We wouldn't want to extend the existing "get" because that leads to context issues like this:
Foo->new( size => $obj->get(1, 2) ); # list context
So we'd want a new method that is documented to always potentially return a list.
Separately, I also note that we don't offer a wrapper for Perl's built-in "slice", which seems like an omission. But you wouldn't want to use it for multi-get, since it also allows mutation of the array.
